The WLID that this account is associated with is old and obsolete for me except for the fact that I can't change it here. I had to change my gamertag's WLID ages ago and my most-missed part of this was being able to use my custom emblem as my avatar.

Now Bungie isn't managing the Halo universe, but they've kept the ability to retain your previous Halo emblem as your avatar. Would you like the ability to use any custom emblem as your Bungie.net avatar (even without a linked tag)? They're not too bad to customize even just experimenting with the URL parameters; although I guess it could be more trouble than it's worth.

If nothing else, I hope this feature continues into Bungie's new game, although I still wouldn't be able to utilize the feature unless I can actually change the WLID associated with my account here (something I'm also hoping for). That, and I doubt they'll have a trip mine emblem in their next game.

Positive vibes.

If I am understanding this correctly, yes; I would love that.

For clarification, are you suggesting they make it possible for us to use any emblem we please?

A databank with all the past Halo emblems would be awesome.

It's a cool idea, but I get the feeling people with Halo 2 emblems would feel cheated. There's a reason so many of us older members use the Halo 2 emblems as our avatars.

Yes, that's correct. Especially now, after the stats freeze/transition, it would make a lot more sense.

That's true, I wouldn't mind that either. But now that all the emblems are essentially locked out, I thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to implement this.

And that's what I thought. I think that would be a great idea, but Dropship dude does raise a valid point.

Great idea man!

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Seems like a good idea, I'm happy with what I got though...

I just hope they continue the emblem-avatar service for Destiny.

I had to destroy my 1337 Halo 3 game count just so I could recover my good ol' tripmine-inna-hexagon.

I wouldn't mind having a sort of custom emblem creator, but I understand that Bungie are looking towards the future and not to the past.
